There's a youtuber called Westside Tyler, he's a former marine, artist, writer and left leaning youtuber, he's also into history, military history and historical weapon youtubers. He was watching Metatron videos on stream and his chat was constantly misrepresenting Rafael's views as him being some sort of racist, fascist who hates anything none white as well as people accusing him of not knowing that Europe wasn't white in the Medieval Era because Muslims lived in Italy during the medieval period, despite the fact I've never heard Raf say that in any of his videos, and the Muslim's mainly lived in Sicily which low, and behold is where Raf is from, I'm sure he's more than aware of his own local history. Most of these guys that are left leaning and calling Raf a fascist are people who have probably never left the country they were born in and only speak one language, I even got into a debate with some guy that said Raf is guilty of being a fascist because he say's the same things right wingers say, so he is therefore supporting their messages intentionally or not. Tyler the actual guy himself is great, and his channel deserves some spotlight but his chat and fans are so quick to judge just because Raf is against the modern ideal of historical revisionism to make historical societies look exactly like the modern world

Take the "shady mechanic" trope, then extrapolate it outward. Why aren't we allowed to talk about things? Why must we be condemned and conditioned to repeat the past, "like poetry it rhymes" ? Ask yourself who stands to benefit. Create problems to sell the solutions. With enough time and effort, we can advance past that and arrive at just selling the problem itself and only ever selling more problems that need solutions thay "might" be achievable. Sell nothing and promise everything, deliver on none of it, new problem is sold to sell new promises of future products and services that never come to fruition or are unable to deliver on even half the promises. Accelerationism in order to keep things the same for a few but worse for everyone else. The few don't care, as long as they stay comfortable and in charge.

As somebody who has been watching your videos for years, even though I don't comment much, it's crazy to see you in this position.

It's not even a position, it's just spitting facts, but it's others who have made a position up, and put you into it. Stay strong man, keep making videos and teaching

I was in an extreme fundamentalist environment and was yelled at several times over the years for asking questions. (My dad, and even one of the teachers in the fundamentalist college I attended, surprisingly, reinforced my thinking for myself. My dad's views were conservative enough, but definitely not aligned with the church my brother-in-law was pastor of, so I had questions.😁) Fortunately, I was able to escape several years ago. The close mindedness to questions, and the truth is not limited to just certain people and groups, in my experience. However, these tend to be a very vocal minority. Just read the news, and it's all over the spectrum now, much more than even a decade ago. Right, left, centerist, and any fringe group that you can think of, today. Fortunately, the majority seems more rational, but less likely to speak up or out, letting the extreme elements seem more relevant than probably they should. Speak up! You are doing a great work, Metatron! Glad to see you intend to keep being a voice of reason!

Seeing things on that list that should never be considered "controversial" was just pain inducing. It would be nice if more people were open to logical discourse like Metatron is. The polarization of people increasing is extremely unnerving considering the more polarized people become the more violent and aggressive they become.

Thanks! For what it's worth, I've never found your videos controversial but educational. As a scientist, I deal in objective, concrete proof or evidence and not supposition nor opinions. Without scientific proof, it's only opinion. In history, without hard historical evidence, it's only supposion. People will all ways complain about one thing or another and most times will not admit they're wrong even when confronted with hard evidence. When you do what you do, expect controversy and don't be thin skinned.

With ideology comes inherent blindness, they can't be separated. Principles are another matter, since for them to be principles, you have to stick with them, even though you don't like the immediate outcome. The ACLU demonstrated how this works in Skokie in the 70s. The new ACLU has abandoned this principle, since they've publicly stated that they'd no longer take on such cases, if they didn't like the organization getting silenced. It's also come to light that many colleges that have a history of deplatforming speakers they find unpopular now want to hide behind "free speech", since the deplatforming crowd's taken the position that the rape and murder of civilians being war crimes isn't a principle, and the recent intentional use of both are legitimate war tactics, as long as the unpopular people are on the receiving end of it. There's much more to this list of abandoned principles, for both of the main factions in the US, but those two are both recent and glaring. For a list of my principles, look to the Bill of Rights as it was written, not the modern reinterpretations that have watered down those protections to a very low level of protection. Just ask any lawyer dog.

What's so good about this video? When somebody hides what their video is about and just labels it "controversial" as the video's title, that's a typical clickbait tactic.

@@elgatofelix8917 I agree. I hate this type of video titles, they are just useless. I think everybody here is looking for truth and some good information, but titles like those give no info. Titles like examples bellow are just not helpfull: - This is complete nonsense - This is Trash - This is Insane - Most of You Will Get This Wrong - I HAD to Make a Response to This... Imagine if academic articles, under which community I also count you, would have titles like this. Title should tell you something about the video and most of Metatrons are ok, but those that I mentioned above are just trash.

I'm a somewhat left American who very much appreciates your videos, your opinions on all your videos, no matter if i agree with you or not. You do great work and hope it continues into the future. I particularly agree with you on not changing history to conform to modern times or promote an agenda. It's heresy. How this is even controversial is beyond me. Keep up the good work. People need to experience life outside their bubbles.

As an very right American I 100% agree with what you said.

This is great. One should never cater to a single ignorant hater. If they are too encapsulated by feelings to accept the reality of the past and present, they are lost. You should never stop informing people with a functional mind, especially to make those with a nonfunctional one feel good. In fact, as you are doing, you should actively dispute the false things pushed by the ignorant, because that is a battle that actually makes the world a better place. You are doing a great job, and your defense of truth vs the rise of lies is honorable, and even inspirational.

I haven't seen your videos in so long, but lately I have been again. It is so nice to hear words spoken with such clarity and no confusion. The clickbait titles I tend to avoid, so if I hadn't seen your videos years ago, I might'a skipped this channel over the sense that I avoid deliberate clickbait attempts. But, I let it slide and watch the videos anyways, because I know the content behind them is pure.

Everything today can be labled as "controversial" that word has become so bloated it's lost its meaning. I love your courage Metatron, keep it up!

I feel like His goal is to be a youtube professor in a way, he wants to educate and respond to factually incorrect things. And he is one of the few that doesn't have an agenda of some sort. So I respect him even more for that.

Telling the truth honors you. Telling the truth about history honors those who came before you. Keep up the good work!

I have always been drawn to your channel because you ask the hard questions and try to answer them based on historical facts not on your own beliefs. Look forward to your future videos since they always make me think and reassess what I thought I knew. Too bad that KZread constantly adds to the words that creators can't use or risk being demonetize.

Brilliant explanation of the way history should be studied. I recently discovered your channel and I'm very impressed with the intellectual rigor of your video's. I fact checked a couple of videos as an experiment and the accuracy is amazing. Super impressed! Peace.

To me, "Metatron" is synonymous with "Integrity". I look forward to all your videos and content this year, thank you for having such high personal standards I am really inspired by it.

Not only a great student of history but a philosopher and one not controlled by the crazy ideas of the masses.

We share a lot of common views and I can somehow see myself and how I aspire to be, in you. I just wanted to tell you that I support you, and I'll be always here. Not mindlessly, always ready to reflect, and debate, and inquire. All the best!

It was your questioning thumb nails that made me click on you. I honestly don't remember which one it was but I remember thinking, "I never thought about that. Let's see what he has to say." Then I was hooked ever since. You give a fantastic analysis of the questions your propose. Thank you for being on here.

Speaking of controversy, I would love for you to make a video about Isreal-Palestine tensions from a waaayyyyy back historical context. Its so hard to find something that doesnt side with an agenda and I feel a good researcher who only seeks truth such as yourself would help people not fall for propaganda. 🙏 all the best and God bless!

If or when you get hate for saying facts, historical facts, proven historical facts... it only further proves that you are right. You and people like Shad for example, are doing amazing work, and I learned so much from you, and other well educated historical youtubers. Just because some people don't want to hear the truth, doesnt change the facts. Continue doing the great work and continue with "controversy"

@@MasterIceyy Yeah can only time I can recall Schola being a bit well questionable. Was related to the final season of game of thrones and the awful tactics used. Which as for Shad. Now I have seen his take on ai. He was going ok, ai can be used to create beautiful work. takes hard work. Ok. Seems reasonable. Then he shows a picture of ai artwork. Which was like what. Which was the worst, ai art I have seen. Like rather than putting their best foot forward, they were putting their worst foot forward. Like they had all the time in the world, to show off something good but just didn't. Then someone in like 30 minutes, made a much better version of it by drawing their own take on the ai image.

I feel your vids are very well presented, with references, definitions, historical references and all tools available. ❤️

The work you do is more important than ever. Thank you for all you do, it is invaluable. As you said, the truth never changes.

I'm semi curious to know who the people are that take the time to view your videos, supposedly from beginning to end, and then draw the conclusion that the content is controversial. One of the reasons I like your videos is because your presentations are obviously thoroughly researched to highlight facts. I've never seen you twist information to substantiate your views. Maybe some people are jealous and irritated by your superior IQ. There are others who find it comforting.

Unfortunately the social media culture has made people ridiculously intolerant. Not of race, sexuality or gender, but of difference of opinion. So many people want everything they don't like or they don't agree with to not exist. And they will resort to the most vile tactics to erase those things, or people. I am trying very hard to be more reasonable and mature. When I run into something I don't like or agree with or when something I used to like has been ruined, I don't spend my time getting outraged. I just disconnect or disengage from it. Apathy is a better statement than constant complaining into the ether. Related to that last point, I am certain that there are millions and millions of people online who are absolutely addicted to outrage. They love that rush of chemicals to their brains when they find something that makes them angry and thus they intentionally search for such things. You can see that on both sides of this stupid "culture war". I have had my run-ins with that feeling and I really, really, really don't want to get swept up in with it again.

The fundamental issue with Apathy however is it's inability to drive change. A great example of recent times is the censorship of gaming mods on Nexus if they do anything anti-woke. You can respond with apathy and desist using the service, but if no one who does political commentary on it complains about the censorship, most people won't even know that Nexus decided to start becoming political and won't get informed as to what happening. This is then also ignoring the fact that being emotional and pressuring and lobbying for things often times results in that being done. The solution in my opinion isn't apathy, but rather to be able to remember both good things are occuring as well as to make sure one is engaging with things both non-political and political from an opposing point of view. As apathy only is as important as the economic or social hit from the individual, it is just a remarkably poor way to make any statement. Quite literally, most likely no one will miss you when you are gone as none are even aware as to why you left. Being addicted to outrage is bad, but becoming abstaining entirely from the culture war doesn't change the fact that a large amount of the culture war is over imposing their beliefs on others irregardless of if they want it or not. You can't be disinterested from it if they are not disinterested in you.

Apathy isn't enough anymore, if you don't pick a side it suddenly is controversial too and people get outraged at you for it Best solution is get off of the internet and if you see something you dislike in media and products stop consuming it to not financially support it without being an outrage goblin

Controversy can be a good thing too. - I tuned into your channel because some of the various content you're working to produce, aligns with the topical themes that interest my pursuits. Its enjoyable to get a different perspective on the same general themes I entertain. Especially the more obscure historical interpretation. - I mean, if I disagee on points, I'm capable of speaking for myself.

I appreciate the purity of your intent. I agree and don’t sense any agenda from you- rather the intense joy of learning! Thank you for simply being you…in a time when people don’t seem to know who they are!!!

I studied prepositional calculas at Santa Barbara, and you are very correct! I tend to receive death threats for understanding what fallacies are involved with their weird arguments. Yes, my friend, you are correct .

The truth will always be controversial. Your videos are well thought out, well done and a true learning experience.

Thank you. I cannot find the words to express just how grateful I am for your eloquent presentation of what I too think. Thank you so so much.

Good to see you post. I hope you are doing well. I enjoy your content and I pray for your health.

Buongiorno, Metatron. I have to say, as a literature/writing student, the scripts for your videos are always extremely eloquent and precise. It really shows the effort that you and your team put in to make sure that you are representing the truth effectively. Happy 2024

Happy to see you back. Happy new year and merry Christmas. Hope all is well with your family.

I really appreciate your commitment to seeking truth and understanding of history because we should all be able to learn from the past. I wish everyone would approach topics in this way but the best I can do is just share your video with as many people as I can.

Excellent video! Finally, someone who highlights that discussion is not an "argument", discussion is a rational, calm engagement on different ideas. One doesn't have to agree in the end, but one can be enriched from the experience if the understanding is there that there is information that may be new and relevant. That is how we got to where we are, and we are regressing because people seem to be abandoning rational discussion for ideological grandstanding based on a single perspective thanks to cognitive bias and cognitive dissonance. More videos like this please! People need to be taught how to think again, not just how to consume "information"!

The way America is going you’re now assumed guilty until proven innocent which I find sickening. The flow of discussion and thought is being stifled by woke politics. Cancel culture has run rampant on college campuses especially when it comes to conservative speakers.

Much respect to you. You're among the VERY FEW sane, honest people, who's got the balls to stand their ground! Your programs are historical, factual, that's why I watch them, without the ideological crap, that's why I watch them. This world becomes unbearibly mad. You hit the nail on the head here, I start to believe, the aim is for us to stop talking on any topics, to have no knowledge, ignore facts and let them drown us in sick ideology. No questions asked. It's far worse than 1984...

Metatron, my guide, I think that you should make the videos that you feel you want to make. Absolutely keep on providing your gold standard videos on historical ideas, actions, arms and armor, etc. Your videos seeking to bring light into the dark of today's media who write whatever trash they want misrepresenting the facts, are equally important, so keep it up, I totally enjoy all your videos, and when you lose your mind over some really stupid presentation I enjoy it all the more. remember there are always crackpots that will criticize those that try to straighten out people with facts. well done.

It is interesting to note that you and I have independently observed and drawn the same conclusions on such topics. I for a while thought of doing the youtube channel route, but being creator takes far more effort than I would like to dedicate. However in my line of work, actually dealing with people of all sorts of variety on a daily basis, and having the privilege to engage them one on one, I find that most are not nearly as radical as they seem on screen, and without a camera pointed in front of them. That being said, in your chosen arena, carry on -- I enjoy your content and adding to what I've already learned along my way. Pax Vobiscum!

Love your videos. I absolutely love history and absolutely love that you approach it with pure facts as the basis of your content. Frankly, doing otherwise by definition makes the content not history. I would love to see you do a video on the history of Isreal/Palestine starting from the Roman period and the Bar Kokba rebellion. I know a bit of the history but the way you present the facts makes it easy to get context and understanding.

I encourage you to continue your course. I really appreciate people like you who speak factual proof and not those who put their opinions forward as truth with no proof and are not correct. It's good to see that you are not hiding.

Keep up the good work! Freedom and Truth 😊 thank you for having good values and sharing your knowledge in an entertaining way!

Listen, mate, I consider myself of a history buff and yours is one of the few channels I get the most out of intellectually. You ask questions I haven't even considered to take into perspective and you answer them clearly and without any bias as far as I have seen. Yes, there are times when you present something and I need to dig a little deeper and find other sources that will confirm or correct your answer but mostly, you are dead on point. Your channel is educational and entertaining, so don't change your format, your topics, or (especially) the questions you ask. Keep on going with all that good stuff, do what you do, because, let's face it: People that criticise you without any facts and sources will never convert, no matter how hard you try (see flatearthers). Thanks for being here - and stay many more years!
